Apritello pairing confirmed? Storyboard pics!!

I sort of interpreted Lou's post as being supportive of the idea of an asexual or aromantic character - but I still defs agree with you Zatoichi.

I think this sums things up

I saw that too, I was mainly just responding to this though.

I don't see why every TV show/movie these days must have a token gay character.

That sums it up perfectly.

Of course, now I'm wondering if there are people out there who do want to date lawn gnomes...

I'm sorry, I'm getting off topic here, this is a topic about April and Donnie.

Wow. Can I kiss you? Like, in a totally platonic way?

EDIT: I have to add that this isn't sarcasm this is genuinely a good post

I'm sure there's a fetish site for it somewhere.

As the creator of that pic, I'm glad you think so.

I really wish these were real. I do want Donnie and April to get together. As for calls of bestiality, are you saying the guys are animals? They aren't. They are human/turtle mutants with humanoid bodies and intellects. I don't think that counts as bestiality.

It's... a Nickelodeon show...

Do people honestly think they're going to ever see a fully-formed "relationship" between a human being and a mutant turtle? Parents... would... flip. There's no way. Sapient beings or not, mutants or not, "hybrid DNA" or not, 99% of parents would see it as flat-out bestiality, and they'd flip their sh*t, and then that's the end of the show. If anything, you best hope they don't go there, if you want the show to last. I don't see a corporation like Nick arguing for "artistic integrity" in the face of a billion angry letters and phone calls from parents in the Bible Belt.

I understand it's natural to entertain the notion, and it's Nick's fault for even allowing it to be used as a plot point, but... I think people are projecting a little bit too much of what they want to see into the material, honestly.

It's not that I have a huge problem with the idea itself. I don't. I've made more "Ah, c'mon, they all banged April" jokes than anyone alive. But... it's a Nickelodeon show. It's like how we all KNEW Ren & Stimpy were gay, but so long as the show was on Nick, they were never gonna say so. You gotta consider the source as well as the wider audience.

Gargoyles did..



And it was in a Disney channel. They also had Beauty & the Beast pairing in a movie so.. I don't see the big deal tbh.

But Gargoyles weren't animals. And Beast was originally human, which is something altogether different then something that started out as an actual animal.

And the TMNT aren't just animals either anymore. And hey, can you imagine the publicity if the soccer moms flip out. I say let em, probably more people will tune in the see what the fuss is about.

[Leo656]

OR... oooorrrrr.... the publicly-traded billion-dollar company that relies on millions of soccer moms to buy their merchandise and needs to appease their stockholders caves in and yanks the show due to outcry.

Just gonna go out on a limb and say that's slightly more plausible. Big picture, gang, big picture.

[pennydreadful]

Well, there's always have fanart and fanfic. Even the soccer moms can't stop that!

[Leo656]

S'fine. Like I said, it ain't the idea that bugs me, it's the execution and the fact that it's not likely to have a satisfying resolution given the fact it's airing on a nose-picker network.

[Netkeeper]

I don't have a problem with it either.

What I do have a problem with is, as you all know, 2k12 Donatello's Nice Guy personality. He should be getting his ass pounded into the ground for acting the way he does.

Specifically because it was you, and you chose that specific phrasing... about Donatello...

Yeah, you win the Nash Eyebrow.
(I know, I'm the worst)

[Netkeeper]

WELP THAT IMPLICATION WAS RATHER UNINTENTIONAL BUT

I would always be happy to see Donatello getting his ass pounded

[Leo656]

"Rather unintentional"? I'd believe "accidentally on purpose".

Nobody should leave us the keys to this place after dark. We're the sh*ts.

[Netkeeper]

Implying I only think about such things after dark!
